Investigation underwayCommunity Development director allegedly makes threat against city councilor By TIFFANY RAZZANOSEMINOLE City officials are looking into allegations that Community Development Director Mary Ely made a verbal threat against Councilor Patricia Plantamura last month. According to a Pinellas County Sheriffs Office incident report filed on May 7 by Plantamura and City Clerk Rose Benoit, Ely allegedly told Benoit that if the [City Council] could they would put a hit out on Council Woman Plantamura. Ely denies making the statement. Its simply not true, he said. I thought Clerk Benoit and I had a collegial relationship, but I guess thats not the case. No criminal charges were filed against him after police determined that Ely did not directly threaten Plantamura or Benoit. Benoit told police that Ely made the comment on May 1 while discussing an email that was to be sent to Plantamura in response to a public information request shed made regarding the City Charter. City Manager Frank Edmunds tasked Benoit with the job of drafting a response to the email, she told police. Edmunds also assigned Ely to assist her with the email. According to the police report, Ely provided Benoit with the response and told her that she, rather than Edmunds, would send the email. In a June 4 memo sent to Pat Mickunas, a human resources officer in the city, and copied to Edmunds and City Attorney John Elias, Benoit wrote, I refused to By SUZETTE PORTERPinellas Suncoast Transit Authority broke no state laws in its funding of the Greenlight Pinellas marketing plan, according to the Florida Department of Transportation. FDOT Inspector General Robert E. Clift released a 35page report June 2 detailing results of an investigation initiated by state Sen. Jeff Brandes. The Senator questioned whether PSTA expended public funds to advocate for the referendum included in the Greenlight Pinellas transit development initiative, Clift said in the report. According to Florida Statute, local government entities and their staff are prohibited from expending funds on behalf of, or advocating for, an initiative that is political in nature and pending consideration by referendum of the electorate. A referendum on the Greenlight Pinellas plan and 1 percent transit surtax is on the Nov. 4 ballot. Brandes asked the Inspector Generals Office to review about $800,000 in expenditures by PSTA for a Greenlight Pinellas educational campaign. The review disclosed no evidence that PSTA Greenlight communications contained text prohibited by law, Clift said. State funds available to PSTA through department grants agreements were reviewed to see if they were used according to laws, rules, regulations and provision of the grants. We determined that PSTA did not use state funds to pay for the Greenlight campaign, Clift said. Florida Statue also prohibits public agencies from spending public funds on political advertisements defined as a paid expression in a communications Features Business . . . . . . . . . .10A Classieds . . . . . . . . .5-7B Community . . . . . . .5, 9, 11A County . . . . . . . . . .6, 8A Entertainment . . . . . . .1-4, 8B Health . . . . . . . . . . .12A Just for fun . . . . . . . . . .2B Pet Connection . . . . . . . .13A Police . . . . . . . . . . . .17A Schools . . . . . . . . . . .14A Seminole . . . . . . . . . .3-4A Sports . . . . . . . . . . .16A Viewpoints . . . . . . . . . .15A Call 397-5563 For News & Advertising The Turtles featuring Flo & Eddie are one of the acts performing on the Happy Together Tour 2014.

4A Seminole Seminole Beacon, June 12, 2014accept the draft and stated that I was not going to send someone elses words as my own in an email that called for a response from City Manager Edmunds. Ely then got an attitude with her, she told police, and made his alleged threat against Plantamura. Unsure what to do immediately after the May 1 incident, Benoit waited a week before contacting Plantamura to tell her about the alleged threat. They met for lunch on May 7 and decided independently to file a complaint with the Sheriffs Office, Plantamura said. Sheriffs Deputy Damian Peyinghaus, who took Benoits and Plantamuras complaints, visited Edmunds and Ely at City Hall on May 14 to follow up on the incident. Edmunds said that neither Benoit nor Plantamura reported the incident to him and he learned about it from the deputys visit. This goes against city protocol, he said. At no time was my office made aware of the incident The process would typically be that when there is an incident that offends or disturbs an employee theyre encouraged to report it within three days, he said. He added, Its unfortunate that Clerk Benoit and Councilor Plantamura elected to not make me aware of the alleged event. Though Peyinghaus determined that no direct threat was made, he recommended that the women report the incident to the citys Human Resources department. It is apparent that the Deputy sensed a hostile work environment, Plantamura wrote in a June 2 email to Edmunds that also was distributed to Elias, the City Council and the Sheriffs Office. I took [Elys] statement to be offensive, malicious and intimidating, Benoit wrote in her memo to Mickunas. I take verbal threats and/or comments very seriously. Such comments and/or behavior are improper, unacceptable, and disrespectful and must not happen again in the work place. Statements of violence are sometimes a warning of a possible danger to an intended party and disrupt the peace of mind and safety of any individual. I feel that this type of behavior and/or actions and/or communications make doing my job impossible. Benoit also complained to Human Resources about the way Edmunds handled the incident after meeting with Deputy Peyinghaus. In her June 4 memo, Benoit stated that Edmunds set up a May 23 meeting that included Ely. But Edmunds wouldnt provide the nature of the meeting or allow her to invite Plantamura, Mickunas or Deputy Peyinhaus, she wrote. I was totally surprised by the lack of concern City Manager Edmunds showed towards the seriousness of my allegation, she wrote. His main concern during the meeting was why I did not report the incident to him first. I expected City Manager Edmunds to be vigilant, to investigate the complaint and address the complaint. Instead I found myself being treated as the offender because I reported the offense; the verbal threat! Plantamura also said shes concerned that Edmunds isnt taking the incident seriously enough. In her June 2 email to him, she wrote, It is still troubling to me that you, as Manager of our City, did not telephone to advise me of any concern, whether a threat was made or if it was not, with assurance that there would be zero tolerance in Seminole administration or government for any such behavior. Any reasonable person and certainly the Manager of a City should take this report seriously. Edmunds said he will review Benoits complaint to Human Resources and discuss it with legal counsel. He said he cant provide an accurate timeframe for the investigation because the timing of her complaint is now 30 days after the alleged incident. He added, Theres no evidence that Im aware of to support either the allegation or the denial. INVESTIGATION, from page 1AImmigrant group calls for drivers licenses for all By BRIAN GOFFCLEARWATER Allowing everyone to be able to obtain a drivers license would make our roads safer and less harrowing due to those who are driving without a license, said dozens of members of Latino Immigrants of Clearwater at a news conference June 9. Organizer Elisa Huapilla said thousands of people in Pinellas County are suffering hardship because they are not allowed to have a drivers license due to their undocumented status. Public transportation just isnt reliable in Pinellas County for the simplest of things, she said. Going to the store or taking the children to the doctor, taking the bus in most cases just isnt an option. We will continue to fight so these people can someday get a license. Businessman Juan Cruz said allowing people to get drivers licenses will have a major impact on safety in the county. It will definitely make things safer on the streets, he said. It will also help the police because a drivers license is a good form of identification. Unlike people who are driving illegally, those with licenses will be required to learn the rules of the road and will be required to take a test to show they know what they are doing. Lets drive Florida forward. With that last remark the crowd, which had gathered around, broke into applause and waved their signs with slogans such as Floridians deserve safe roads. Another businessman, Felix Mendoza, said the campaign to allow undocumented immigrants to get drivers licenses must continue. Were going to fight, he said. Families who are driving without licenses are putting themselves in danger. They are driving afraid and know that if they get stopped by the police for the smallest of infractions, they could get deported. Allowing them to get licenses would keep everyone safe. One theme that came up over and over again was the inadequate bus system in Pinellas County. People spoke of having to wait long intervals for buses in the rain and hot sun. Dave Kovar, who is part of an environmental group, which supports better public transportation, reminded the crowd that they can help themselves by supporting the Greenlight Pinellas campaign. Taxes in this county have been frozen for some time, yet costs continue to go up, he said. If we dont support Greenlight Pinellas campaign, then the bus company will have no alternative but to shut down some buses. They will start with the feeder routes, then without them, the middle buses will have to go; then of course the main line buses will end. There are people in this county who would be glad to see that happen. Kovar said the way to prevent that is to mobilize all the voters and support Greenlight Pinellas, which would see a 1-cent sales tax increase in the county, all of which would go toward better public transportation. That would mean there will be more buses running, in the evenings and weekends and during the day. They would come more frequently, and you would not have to wait as long in the rain or the heat. Better service means you would be in a position to get better paying jobs. Vote yes in the referendum on Nov. 4. Seminole Councilor Patricia Plantamura also is a supporter of the drivers license initiative and agreed it is a matter of public safety. It means more than that, she said. As our immigrants are being given more access to higher learning, we have a right to ask, what point is it to allow an immigrant to go to a university if they have no way of getting there? An organizer for the American Civil Liberties Union, Paola Calva Florido, lamented the fact that a bill, which would have allowed undocumented immigrants to obtain drivers licenses, did not pass the Florida Legislature in this session. We have to make this a year of public pressure, she said. We have to make our politicians understand that this is not an immigrant issue, it is not a Mexican issue, and it is not a Hispanic issue. It is a human issue. Weve all heard stories of human need as it pertains to getting a drivers license. Huapilla reminded the crowd that they can make a change in the law despite what happened this year. The November election for the Florida Legislature gives advocates an opportunity to inch towards their goal since they can be voting for politicians who can push the issue, she said. For this reason, a grassroots movement will begin to propel Latinos to get out to vote and hopefully set an example for other communities to form their own movement in their own counties to advocate for drivers licenses for everyone.Photos by BRIAN GOFFDozens of people gathered to show support for the idea that undocumented immigrants should be allowed to obtain drivers licenses.

The report stated that per a Supreme Court ruling, a prohibited political advertisement must contain magic words, such as vote for, oppose, cast your ballot for to express advocacy. The Inspector General found no evidence PSTA campaign expenditures violated the advocacy provisions of state law, Clift said. Communications on PSTAs Greenlight Pinellas website, advertisements and promotional items contained no text prohibited by law nor any magic words, which expressly advocate for electors to vote yes in the referendum.Financial reviewThe review found that FDOT had reimbursed PSTA only for operational assistance and costs of operations, according to terms of grant agreements. FDOT issues cost reimbursement grants. To get funds, PSTA is required to submit invoices and quarterly progress reports, including route productivity, passenger trip revenue, revenue miles and revenue hours. FDOTs District 7 monitors PSTAs services through monthly evaluations. PSTA is required to publish performance metrics annually in a newspaper. The authority must submit an annual audited budget. For fiscal year 2013, PSTA went above this requirement by submitting a more extensive Comprehensive Annual Financial Report prepared by an independent auditor for review by the District, Clift said. The review revealed that PSTA had actually spent $620,525 on the Greenlight education campaign, comprised of $239,656 in Federal Transit Administration grants and local funds of $290,569. Yes on Greenlight, a pro-referendum campaign funded through private campaign contributions, was included in the review. The inspector general also looked into comments that Yes on Greenlights logo was similar to the logo used by Greenlight Pinellas. PSTA officials explained that the Greenlight Pinellas logo was not copyrighted and other organizations were using its variations. Additionally, they denied any affiliation between Greenlight Pinellas and Friends for Greenlight or the Yes on Greenlight campaign, the report said. PSTA CEO Brad Miller welcomed the news. We are thankful for the very thorough review by the inspector general, and commend him and his staff for their diligence, Miller said. PSTA strives to be a responsible steward of taxpayer money, whether keeping nearly 200 buses on time daily or educating Pinellas residents about their transit options.

GREENLIGHT, from page 1ACounty delays decision on Bayside Health Campus By SUZETTE PORTERCLEARWATER Despite encouragement to build something from the director of the countys director of health, Pinellas County Commissioners chose to schedule a work session for more discussion before making a final decision on construction of the Bayside Health Campus. Time is growing short to comply with terms of a $5 million federal grant. An extension will be required, if commissioners decide to go forward. But, commissioners are struggling to determine if a bricks and mortar clinic, offering full wrap-around care is the best way to provide for the homeless. Wraparound care includes podiatry, pharmacy and respite. Area hospitals favor having a place where homeless patients can recover after they are released. Those with no place to go other than the streets, often have to be re-admitted for additional hospital care, which is expensive. A respite care facility would provide cost avoidance. Ongoing cost is a big issue. The federal grant would pay for construction of a 15,000 square-foot facility, but provide no money for operations or maintenance. Latest estimates show it would cost about $3 million a year to provide the level of care staff recommends. Officials still have to solve the problem of how to get those who need care to a fixed location. If the state had accepted federal money to expand the Medicaid program, the health campus likely would have been a breakeven operation, Lynda Leedy, director of Health and Community Services, told commissioners during a June 3 meeting. A consultant estimates an annual loss of $872,000 in operating expenses without increased Medicaid money to pay for care of newly eligible clients. Cost to provide pharmacy and specialty care is estimated at an additional $2.2 million a year. Commission Chair Karen Seel would like to explore expanding the mobile medical unit program. The commission also continues to work with local agencies that are currently providing care to the homeless population. Everyone supports that there is lots of unmet need, but not for profit organizations have no money to support a new facility, Leedy said. Leedy has talked to the federal government about the probability of getting a grant extension to meet construction deadlines. Repeated delays in moving ahead mean the county now cannot be finished in time. Leedy said it was likely the county would be given an extension. As long as we can demonstrate progress, it should not be a problem, she said. Interim County Administrator Mark Woodard added that getting an extension wasnt a sure thing. The issue is can we afford to do this and pay for services, said Commissioner Susan Latvala. She suggested raising the millage for the health department to bring in more money. She said the issue was another chicken or the egg. We are all committed to the homeless, but there is not enough money, Latvala said. This is an opportunity we all agreed would do great service. Woodard said several related issues needed to be resolved with the most important being, what are we trying to do and who are we trying to serve. We went from providing a bridge to providing a highway to help people find services, said Commission Chair Karen Seel. What is our vision for health care? This clinic is just one piece. Commissioner Janet Long requested a report on how much money was being spent on indigent health care. We keep reinventing the wheel and forget about the person on the street who needs services as we debate how to move forward, she said. Commissioner Norm Roche concurred with Long and agreed with Latvala that a millage increase for the health department could be the answer. There are a lot of issues on this and we need to move faster, he said. I dont think we have another year to get this solved. We dont want to move fast as much as make sure we do this right, said Commissioner Ken Welch. We got here for a reason. Maybe it is time to change the model. Maybe it is time to hit the reset button here as well, he said. Dr. Claude Dharamraj, director of the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County, encouraged commissioners to find a way to accept the federal grant. She suggested that a smaller facility be constructed that would meet the terms of the grant, but not over-extend the countys capacity to provide services. We dont want a black mark on Pinellas County as we have in the state of Florida, she said. She suggested a compromise. You dont need a Taj Mahal for $5 million. You dont need that big, she said. She suggests building something smaller at a cost of $500,000 to $800,000. Instead of turning down the grant, the county would ask the federal government for a smaller one. A clinic could be located at Safe Harbor, which is taxing Largo Fire Departments resources due to emergency calls for health care. It also would be close enough to serve Pinellas Hope. Go back and say we cannot use the $5 million, but we want a smaller project, she said. Dharamraj is not in favor of relying on the mobile medical unit, which often experiences mechanical problems. Care is always better in a building than a van, she said. She added that once the county had an operating clinic, it would allow them to apply for grants to pay for operations. If you build a building, you would be eligible to get money, she said. No clinic, no money.PSTA rolls out service improvementsST. PETERSBURG Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority began several new service improvements Sunday, June 8, including adjustments to schedules and routing to reduce transfer times, improve schedule accuracy and better accommodate all-time record ridership. More buses for Route 52, PSTAs most crowded bus route is top of the list. Weve wanted to make this improvement for a long time, but didnt have the money said PSTA CEO Brad Miller. Property taxes make up a large portion of our operating funds and the drop in property tax revenue from the recession has limited our ability to add service. The agency has lost more than $40 million dollars since 2008, PSTA officials said. Miller said that due to all-time record ridership and efficiency-related cost savings identified by staff, PSTA is now experiencing a budget surplus, which is being used to provide the long-awaited improvements to the Route 52, which runs from downtown Clearwater to downtown St. Petersburg primarily along East Bay/West Bay Drive and 49th St. Were adding five trips in each direction. It will definitely help with the overcrowding on this one route and were thrilled to improve this service, Miller said. But PSTA still has too many routes that operate infrequently and end too early to be reliable to our customers. Its a proven fact that increased ridership results from increases in bus frequency. Thats why the Greenlight Pinellas Plan focuses on a frequent network of routes and rapid services through all parts of Pinellas County including Northern Pinellas where the 52 doesnt run. The Greenlight Pinellas Plan for countywide transportation improvements will be on the Nov. 4, ballot and will ask voters to change PSTAs funding from its current .7305 mill property tax to a 1 County news Pinellas SuncoastTransit Authority is adding five trips, starting June 8, in each direction on Route 52,which runs fromdowntown Clearwaterto downtown St.Petersburg.

Details of the plan, Q&A and background data are available at www.greenlightpinellas.com. Other changes that went into effect for PSTA June 8 were new schedules that more accurately reflect bus arrival times for the Routes 30 and 23. Plus, a detour around the Betty Lane closure in Clearwater on the Route 78 will become permanent due to the popularity and increased ridership along the detour. The new timetables are available at PSTAs Customer Service Centers, on board the buses, via mail, and in digital form at www.PSTA.net.JWB achieves national accreditation CLEARWATER The Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County has achieved national accreditation through the New York-based Council on Accreditation, one of the largest and most prestigious childand family-services accrediting organizations in the country. Organizations pursue accreditation to demonstrate the implementation of best practice standards in the field of human services. The esteemed COA designation has been granted to only five other government entities in the state of Florida and only 47 other government entities nationwide. Plus, no organization like JWB, including Floridas Children Services Councils, has ever achieved COA accreditation. Not only is it rare for a publically funded agency to receive this honor, but JWB was expedited through the accreditation process, as COA reviewers did not grant any out-of-compliance ratings during the entire review period. This extraordinary achievement was made possible by the commitment and hard work of JWB staff and with the support of the JWB Board, Community Councils, funded partner agencies, and other community stakeholders, said Dr. Marcie Biddleman, JWB executive director. COA accreditation is an objective, independent, and reliable validation of an agencys performance. The COA accreditation process involves a detailed review and analysis of an organizations administration, management, and service delivery functions against international standards of best practice. The standards driving accreditation ensure that services are well coordinated, culturally8A County COUNTY NEWS, from page 6Acompetent, evidence-based, outcomes-oriented, and provided by a skilled and supported workforce. COA accreditation demonstrates accountability in management of resources, sets standardized best practice thresholds for service and administration, and increases organizational capacity and accountability by creating a framework for ongoing quality improvement. To achieve COA accreditation, JWB first provided written evidence of compliance with the COA Standards. Thereafter, a group of specially trained volunteer Peer Reviewers confirmed adherence to these standards during a series of on-site interviews with trustees, staff, stakeholders and consumers. Based on their findings, COAs volunteer-based Accreditation Commission voted that the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County had successfully met the criteria for accreditation. The Juvenile Welfare Board was created as an independent taxing authority by the citizens of Pinellas County in 1945 who believed all children mattered and made investments to improve their futures. Today, JWB responsibly invests in programs with proven results and creates innovative partnerships that benefit tens of thousands of children and families each year. These efforts not only strengthen children and families, but also neighborhoods, communities and schools. For nearly 70 years, Pinellas County agencies who serve children and families and receive public funds from JWB have been held to the highest standards through contractual agreements and onsite evaluations, Biddleman said. It was time we held ourselves to these same high standards by inviting an independent body one of the highest regarded in the industry to review our organization.Pinellas and PSTA agree on transit surtax By SUZETTE PORTERCLEARWATER Pinellas County Commissioners voted 6-1 to approve an interlocal agreement with Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority to govern the use of a 1 percent transit surtax should voters approve it during the November election. Legal teams from the county and PSTA have spent months hashing out the details of the agreement ahead of the Nov. 4 referendum. Approval of the 1 percent tax levy would provide a funding source for countywide transportation projects outlined in the Greenlight Pinellas plan. The plan includes an expanded bus system with bus rapid transit, increased frequency and extended hours and local passenger rail and regional connections. The next step is approval by the PSTA board. The interlocal agreement gives the county the authority to withhold distribution of the surtax proceeds and/or reduce the surtax levy if PSTA exercises its ad valorem taxing authority. It allows PSTA to pledge surtax proceeds against any debt or other obligation incurred by PSTA for the Greenlight plan. It allows the county to reduce or terminate the surtax if certain defined events occur. It requires consent from the county to undertake defined activities and provides reimbursement to the county for costs paid in support of the plan. Commissioner Norm Roche voted against the agreement. Im concerned about not eliminating the ad valorem, he said, calling it a red flag. He also is concerned about responsibility versus liability, saying the county as the taxing authority could be liable for bonds issued on behalf of Greenlight projects if PSTA is dissolved at any point in the future. The interlocal doesnt give back confidence, he said. Thomas Rask, who is running for a seat on the county commission, also said the agreement did not protect the taxpayers against double taxation because PSTA could reintroduce the ad valorem tax. Its a very strong agreement, Commissioner Ken Welch said. It does assure that the ad valorem will go away. Well be able to repeal the whole tax. It is really very strong. The interlocal states that if the state Legislature votes to change PSTAs Special Act to eliminate its authority to levy the ad valorem tax, sections pertaining to withholding or reducing surtax money would no longer be in force. Welch pointed out that even Gov. Rick Scott is now supporting transit and rail. He said he believed the legislative delegation also would support it now. Every part of the state is moving forward (with transit), he said. Welch said the interlocal agreement was something to be proud of. Commission Chair Karen Seel agreed. This agreement is very unusual in the state of Florida, she said. We did it to be accountable to our citizens. The interlocal sets forth a schedule of milestones, which includes such items as expansion of night and weekend bus service and the start of paperwork for Phase 1 of bus rapid service by the end of calendar year 2016. By 2017, purchases of standard and coach buses take place to increase frequency of service and completion of capital purchases and installation of equipment for bus rapid service. Similar milestones continue through the year 2024 with the opening of light rail transit. The interlocal calls for a review after the 50th anniversary of the surtax and each 20th anniversary thereafter. It provides the county with the authority to reduce or terminate the surtax when all projects are complete and debt is retired. The tax also could be reduced or eliminated if PSTA decides to discontinue projects, defaults on payments under a trust agreement, or uses proceeds for something other than the Greenlight plan. PSTA must seek the countys permission to make any substantial amendment to the Greenlight plan, to enter into any partnership that is materially adverse to the countys interests, to amend debt and investment policies or the trust agreement. Commissioner John Morroni said Congressman David Jolly, who doesnt favor the tax, has said if voters approve it, he will do all he can to support local transit. Commissioner Susan Latvala said the local legislative delegation also would be on board if voters say yes. We have years invested in this moving into the 21st Century, she said. Really, this is about leadership and having a vision about what the county will look like in 20 or 30 years, said Commissioner Janet Long. This is not for us. Its for our kids and our grandkids.Pinellas County Commissioner Norm Roche cast the lone no vote on an interlocal agreement with Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority.Screenshot by SUZETTE PORTER

This Ruth Eckerd Hall theater project features candid student performers from throughout Tampa Bay sharing their own true stories. Performances take place at REHs Murray Studio Theater Thursday, June 12, 7:30 p.m.; Friday, June 13, 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, June 14, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, June 15, 2 p.m. Project: Shattered Silence, which takes place throughout the school year, began five years ago as a theater program for teens to learn how to craft their own stage productions and write short scripts. The programs artistic director, Jared ORoark, initially intended for all of the pieces to be fiction, though many of the stories and themes were rooted in the teens real lives. I thought, Wow, these are just exaggerated stories of what they go through in real life, he said. Then the program took a dramatic turn halfway throughout the year when one of his students came to him crying because she was having difficulty coming up with an idea for her piece. As they talked, the conversation drifted and she began to tell ORoark about how her Puerto Rican grandmother and Cuban grandfather fell in love, and her disconnection with that part of her family history. I thought, Lets do that. Thats really cool, ORoark said. Other students in the program decided to write true stories from their lives as well and that first performance wound up being half fiction and half non-fiction pieces. We realized pretty quick that the non-fiction, the ones that were true, got the best response, ORoark said. So Project: Shattered Silence has focused on true stories ever since. Topics range from sexuality and self-image issues to eating disorders to more lighthearted topics. We still have the lighter stories about being a redhead, stereotypes, ORoark said. In fact, he insists that theres an even amount of funny stories and pieces on more difficult topics. It would be horrible if it was all sad because who is all sad? Most of the students who find their way to Project: Shattered Silence arent interested in theater, he said, and the theater students who do participate often have the most difficult time with the subject matter. You dont get to hide behind a character, he said. Last year, a documentary on Project: Shattered Silence aired on WEDU, the local PBS station. Since then, its been honored by the Suncoast Regional Emmy Awards, accepted into a film festival in Ohio and picked up for syndication by PBS stations throughout the country. Im hoping that what were doing will catch on in other states, ORoark said. Tickets for Project: Shattered Silence, which runs June 12-15 at Ruth Eckerd Hall are $15.

In a new spin on the event, HEP was permitted to ask for personal care items for the veteran and adult population it serves, including soap, shampoo, linens, clothing and other toiletries. In addition to allowing HEP to ask for donations from store patrons, Walmart itself donated over $750 worth of gift cards, as well as bicycles and other items for HEPs children. Once the Fill-A-Truck event wrapped up, Walmart continued to partner with HEP, providing regular donations of items such as pallets of bananas and strawberries, blankets, school supplies, and household items which were distributed to HEPs residents. Most recently, Walmart awarded the organization a $2,000 community grant to help sustain its meal service program. Store reps presented the check to HEPs leadership team in front of 20 guests from various Walmart locations. Following the check presentation, Jackie Dryden, HEP development director, provided the group with an overview of how HEP is able to maintain its model success rate, breaking the cycle of homelessness for thousands each year. Walmart representatives present a check for $2,000 to the Homeless Emergency Project, one of the oldest and largest providers of emergency housing in Pinellas County. From left are Terrance McAbee, HEP president and CEO; Laurie Gearhart, Roma Vesselov, and Maurice Lewis, Walmart representatives; and Bruce Fyfe, HEP board chair.

Wilson Vacation Rentals 727-595-1605061214SUN VISTA REALTY Award-winning filmmakersVonHenrys latest project, Horses and Heroes, focuses on Renaissance fair re-enactors By TIFFANY RAZZANOPINELLAS PARK When Yvonne and Hank Charneskey formed VonHenry Productions in 2006 to film events for others, on a contract basis, they certainly werent thinking theyd become award-winning documentary filmmakers. But less than a decade later, the Clearwater couples first feature-length documentary, Go Mickey Go, was named Best Documentary Feature at the Los Angeles International Underground Film Festival, and theyre hard at work on their next two documentary projects. And this is all while tending to the day-to-day needs of their business. After about a year of shooting wedding videos, VonHenry Productions morphed into VonHenry Media, Yvonne said. Im not 22 anymore and I cant stand on my feet for 12 hours at a time, she said. Besides, the gigs were monotonous, Hank said. Its the same script over and over. So they tweaked the name of their company and shifted their focus toward commercial projects and marketing content for businesses. We call it DICE, Yvonne said. Documentaries, industrial films, commercial projects and educational training films. While that list handily sums up what services they offer, its constantly evolving. No two projects are alike, and their schedule and workload changes day to day. Theyve done everything from filming a DVD series for a local church to creating commercials for a variety of businesses attorneys, Realtors, lawyers, nearby resorts. Theyve provided contract services to local media outlets, including Bright House and Patch news sites. The couple also makes short video book trailers for authors, trains media and marketing professionals so they can create their own video materials, and recently have begun to offer whiteboard explainer videos to clients. We try to keep up with the trends, Yvonne said. We have a lot to offer in this economy. You have to be able to do that. Then two years ago, Mickey Wrights management company approached VonHenry about making a full documentary film about Wright, a female racecar driver from Clearwater who got her start at 45. The result was Go Mickey Go. The creative couple realized making this documentary would be the next step for them, after years of filming mini documentaries for commercial projects and news outlets, Hank said. So we were learning to tell documentary stories in two or three minutes. It was just a matter of building [on them] and building them up. In addition to taking Best Documentary Feature at the L.A. International Underground Film Festival, it was accepted into three other festivals, including the upcoming Ritz Theatre Film Festival in Winter Haven on June 21. They never expected to win awards with it, Hank said. We would have just been thrilled if it got in somewhere. Their latest project, Horses and Heroes, is in post-production. Its .9 percent done, Yvonne said. The film provides a behind-the-scenes look at Sarasotas War Horse Farm. The farms colorful performing troupe, New Riders of the Golden Age train horses and the knights who ride them into battle at Medieval and Renaissance festival re-enactments throughout the country. The couple was introduced to the entertainers several years ago while shooting a video for Patch. They were immediately drawn to their story. These people were so in character when we met them and I was so impressed, Yvonne said. They were in character even behind the scenes and I really felt like I was in medieval times. They had this integrity and chivalrous way, and they treated their horses really, really well. That impressed me more than anything. Theyve also finished filming B-roll footage for their next film, tentatively titled Matriarchal Chants: Your Life, Your Chance. This film features the empowering storytelling programs for girls and women offered by Fran Powers at Tampas Powerstories Theatre. Im so enthralled by what she does, Yvonne said. While filming her speaking at a workshop for women in the corporate world, it hit me that she was a really good storyteller and that this was a story worth telling. Hank said that the way Powerstories transforms young girls is amazing. A lot of these girls come in shy, very unsure of themselves and they learn leadership skills through song and dance, he said. And they learn not only how to be a leader, but when to step back and follow, and when they need to be in the spotlight. VonHenry Media is a member of the Pinellas Park/Gateway Chamber of Commerce. Hank now sits on the board, and in January, their company was named the 2013 Small Business of the Year by the chamber. Its really one of the best chambers Ive ever seen, Yvonne said. They give back so much. So VonHenry gives back to the chamber as much as it can. Its even filmed videos about the chamber itself and the formation of the Pinellas Park Medical District. Its a beautiful piece, she said. It really gives the medical district a soul. For more information, visit www.vonhenry.com.

Must bring this ad.12712 Indian Rocks Rd., Largo, FL 33774727-596-9156012314Matt Facarazzo, D.V.M.with this ad NEW LOCATION Kennel cough is a respiratory disease that dogs can acquire by being in close contact with other dogs. Kennel cough usually involves more than one infectious agent. Some of the infectious agents include bordetella bronchiseptica (bacterium), canine adenovirus 2 (virus), parainfluenza (virus), canine influenza (virus), and canine distemper (virus). Having your dog vaccinated for these diseases does not guarantee prevention. Most vaccines help decrease the severity of the symptoms should your canine friend come down with kennel cough. Other agents known to be involved with kennel cough are Mycoplasma canis (neither a virus nor a bacterium), and Canine reovirus. The symptoms of kennel cough are either a deep, honking-like cough or a cough that sounds like the dog is hacking up a hairball. Sneezing, nasal discharge, and runny eyes can be seen as well. Most cases will resolve within one to two weeks, however, the dog could be infectious for up to three months. Some of the more complicated cases can progress to pneumonia. If your dog does not get better in a week to 10 days with treatment, have your pup rechecked. Treatments for kennel cough may entail antibiotics, antiinflammatories, and/or cough suppressants. Rest is extremely important when recovering. With excitement and exercise, airflow through the trachea and lower airways increase, which causes the irritation that induces more coughing. More coughing equals more irritation so the vicious cough cycle continues. Using a harness instead of a collar will help to relieve any pressure on the trachea, which can also cause coughing. The incubation time from exposure to showing clinical signs is from two to 14 days. Many puppies and dogs from shelters or rescues commonly get sick after they are brought home. This is why it is always important to isolate a new dog from any other dogs in your household for at least two weeks. With the emergence of doggy day care facilities, dog parks, and more restaurants allowing dogs, the exposure to these diseases becomes more likely. If your dog frequents these or dog shows, groomers, or boarding facilities, then it is a good idea to have your dog vaccinated. Bordetella vaccines are labeled for one year, but some facilities require dogs to be vaccinated every six months if they are going to be exposed to a lot of other dogs. Bordetella vaccines are available in injectable, oral, and intranasal forms. It is always good to have your dog vaccinated two weeks before he or she is exposed to other dogs. Getting vaccinated the day of boarding is not ideal, but if your dog gets vaccinated every six to 12 months, then there will be some immunity. Those dogs that have not been vaccinated in the past and then get vaccinated the day of boarding are more at risk for developing disease. It is important to note that respiratory diseases in dogs are highly contagious, and even the most immaculate of places cannot be 100 percent sterilized, since the particles are in the air. Kids that go to school get sick because they are in close contact with things that other kids are touching and are coughing and sneezing in the environment. We see more cases of kennel cough during our own flu season and during the holidays when a lot of dogs are boarding, even with the best precautions. If you must expose your dog to a place where other dogs are gathered, there is a small chance that your dog could get sick. Coughing should not be confused with something called a reverse sneeze. Many dogs get rushed to the emergency clinic because of this type of episode. To see what a reverse sneeze looks and sounds like go to YouTube and type in reverse sneeze in dogs. You can also see what kennel cough sounds like on YouTube. Many people think their dogs are choking when in reality they are coughing or reverse sneezing. If a dog were really choking then he/she would not be passing air and you would need to do the Heimlich maneuver right away to try to clear the airway. The trip to the ER may be too long. The American Red Cross has great CPR and first aid books that they publish for both dogs and cats. The books come with a DVD as well. This is a great investment and may actually save your animals life one day.

Silky lives in Largo with his humans, Mark and Robin Hansen, human brother Christian, and doggy brother Coco the chocolate Lab. Silky is a 5-year-old Rex rabbit, and she was adopted from the SPCA four years ago. Cecil the squirrel was found with a hurt leg and tail and was abandoned from his nest. He was so tiny that Christian had to feed him with droppers for the first few weeks, and the family kept him in a cat kennel so he could heal. Once he started walking and eating better, the Hansens opened the door and put him on the porch, where Silky lives. At first Silky was annoyed by this furry intruder, but soon she would look for her squirrel baby and would snuggle up with Cecil. Robin thinks this companionship may ha ve helped with Cecils healing. Since squirrels are not pets, he only stayed with the family until he could care for himself. As Pet of the Month winners, the Hansens and Silky won a $25 gift certificate to either Largo Feed or Park Feed in Pinellas Park. Send your pet photos to Al exandra Lundahl at alundahl@TBNweekly.com.

I also want to thank all of those who have guided and supported them, and all of our students, this past year. Parents, teachers, coaches, extended family members, support staff and our community partners all play such a pivotal role in the success of our students, and I offer my heartfelt appreciation for all that you do. Our community has so much to celebrate as the school year comes to a close. This past year, Pinellas County Schools was named an Advanced Placement District of the Year for increasing access to AP coursework and raising the pass rate percentage. We were also honored nationally as a model district by the Ford Foundation for its Ford Next Generation Learning Academies of Pinellas fiveyear plan. I am particularly thrilled about the significant gains that so many of our students showed this past year on their reading, writing and mathematics scores on various standardized tests. We are truly raising expectations and our students are showing they are up to the challenge. This year, we gained traction on a number of new initiatives focused on boosting student achievement. This summer, for the second year, we are continuing our Summer Bridge extended learning programs throughout the district. These summer programs, including a new Algebra boot camp for middle school students, are designed to mitigate summer learning loss to better position students to start next school year at or above grade level. This past year, we also instituted programs that facilitated additional time for instruction in reading, math and science, and provided a wealth of digital resources for students to support their learning outside of the classroom. In addition, we have greatly increased the number of STEM Academies at our schools in an effort to better prepare students for the global demands of the 21st century. We are aggressively confronting achievement gaps with the districts new Bridging the Gap plan. The initiative, which aligns with the districts Strategic Plan, has five key goals aimed at raising achievement levels, increasing graduation rates and improving student engagement for African American students throughout the district. To further support student achievement, we have launched Pinellas Pathways to Graduation, which helps students successfully complete the requirements for earning a high school diploma, and assists them with planning for their future. While we have made many gains this year, there is still much work to do. In the coming months, I will share with you some of the projects and programs we are diligently working on to help us as we continue to strive for 100 percent student success. I hope all of our students find time to relax this summer and spend time with family and friends. I also hope that families will help provide students with educationally enriching activities this summer. Research shows that students lose knowledge over extended breaks, so it is of vital importance that they flex those brain muscles over the summer. Please encourage the children in your lives to read a little each and every day this summer. The benefits will be evident as we prepare to begin the 2014-15 school year in just a few short months. Have a safe and restful summer!Michael Grego is superintendent of Pinellas County Schools. Mike Grego Top students Christina Price Jared Hayduke Christina Tournant Megan Johnson Mikayla BridgesAnona Elementary hosts Science ExtravaganzaLARGO About 300 parents and students were in attendance at Anona Elementarys inaugural Family Science Extravaganza May 21. Individual students and classes were able to showcase their science fair projects. These projects ranged in a variety of topics from physical to life science and engineering. Anonas own Duke Energy STEM Academy students demonstrated their robotic cars and rocket launcher. Other highlights of the evening were the dissection demonstration by parent and teacher Marta Bradley. Participants were able to get a closer look at the night sky using the Magna Telescope provided by local engineer Brian Crandall. Anonas gifted students held an Egyptian Fair to culminate their learning. Fifth grade teacher Bill Black, who was instrumental in organizing the event, was thrilled with the participation and excitement among the families. Several local organizations were on site to give families some great hands-on experiences. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium allowed students the opportunity to touch one of Winters prosthetic tails.

Advances in medicine, workplace safety, risk management and healthy nutrition practices in the last 50 years have vastly increased life expectancy in the United States. As a result, Americans are experiencing an unprecedented demographic shift: Four full generations in relatively good health living side by side. Florida is a model of the demographic reality the nation will face in 40 years. There are currently 3.3 million Floridians age 65-plus living in the Sunshine State 18 percent of the population, and over 500,000 of them are over 85. Pinellas Countys age demographics are even more tilted to graying: 21.5 percent of its population are 65 or older, and 4 percent are 85-plus. How these four generations children, parents, grandparents and super-elders can live in harmony and mutual support is the subject of this Community Conversation. A panel of experts representing programs serving each stage of life will explore how, by creative action and effective advocacy, the four generations can leverage the assets of each age group for the betterment of all. The Community Conversation, moderated by Levine, will include six Pinellas County leaders whose organizations serve one or more of the four life stages: Marcie Biddleman, executive director, Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County Eileen Boyle, executive director, Allegany Franciscan Ministries The Hon. Rene Flowers, member of the Pinellas County School Board Judge Raymond Gross of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Family Court Jeff Johnson, director, AARP of Florida Shannon Reid, vice president of Education and Practice Management, Raymond James Financial For information, call David Klement at 3946933.Rotary donates $1,000 to Starkey Elementary librarySEMINOLE Rotary International has always emphasized literacy as one of the important programs that all Rotary Clubs need pursue.

The Beacon also made the suggestion to Promise. And the final thought: Dont Drink and Drive. At first passing I thought that it was great to remind our teens to be responsible. But pause there for a minute. Think about it. Our teens. Our teens need to be reminded to not get behind the wheel after tossing back a few? Doesnt this message quietly read: We know youre going to drink anyway, so go ahead ... but just dont drive after? I dont think this is the appropriate pre-prom admonition, especially from our Sheriffs Office. Drinking under the age of 21 is still illegal, and those breaking this law should be treated as such. Perhaps then drinking at the prom will cease to be a foregone conclusion, and our children can be safe a little longer. Our sheriff needs an editor. The sign should have read: Dont Drink! Cyndi Foisy DunedinA positive result in Madeira BeachEditor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank Elaine Poe, Deputy John Luckett along with a good number of deputies, the city of Madeira Beach, our mayor and my neighbors whose combined efforts restored calm and peace to our neighborhood on 147th Avenue. The patience and professionalism exhibited by each one of you has had a direct and very positive impact on my family and my neighbors lives. Thank you Elaine Poe for issuing the clarion call on our nuisance neighbor situation, arranging meetings and providing helpful information. You made yourself available 24/7. I will always be grateful. Thank you Deputy Luckett and the Sheriffs Office for every call you answered and for your resolve. Thank you the city of Madeira Beach for applying pressure to the landlord to dissuade him from continuing to rent out to unruly, costly and troublesome individuals. The community, the city and Sheriffs Office all worked together to a very positive result. Well done. Robert Foster Madeira BeachForever Friends a success againEditor: On behalf of the Richardson, MacCollom and Ruzecki families, they would like to thank the Seminole community for another successful round of golf at the Fifth Annual Forever Friends Golf Tournament held on April 5. This tournament was started to give remembrance and hope from a tragedy. After the accident on April 10, 2009, the families of the boys wanted to give back to the community by allowing students to continue to achieve their goals, either through sports and academics. The tournament was the best way to reach out to the Seminole community and Pinellas County to gain support and keep the boys memories alive. Over 140 golfers were able to enjoy a fun filled day with good weather and entertainment, while they played 18 holes of championship golf. The tournament featured both a lunch and dinner along with live music provided by Carlos and Joe. A raffle, silent and live auction kept people in a competitive mood as people bid for competitive prizes such as golf packages and prize packages donated by local restaurants and businesses. Golfers and members of the community were able to view memorable photos and videos of Keith MacCollom, Nate Richardson, Joey Ruzecki, and LeShawn Smith inside the clubhouse. After golf play was completed and during dinner, the crowd and families received a surprise from the Pinellas County Commissioner Janet Long who read a proclamation decreeing that April 10, 2014 as Forever Friends Day in Pinellas County. After the auction, the families and friends participated in a butterfly release and delivered a heartfelt thank you to over 300 guests and friends. Along with Seminole Lake Country Club general manager Norm Haglund and golf pro Bruce Chaleff, they thanked the continuing support of the golf course along with the countless volunteers that helped make the event run smoothly for the afternoon shotgun. The families would like to thank gold sponsors: the Orr Family, the Kenny Family, Clear Tech Pools, Relief at Hand, Helinger Advertising, Twiss Transport, and Pavimento Inc., as well as silver sponsors: District 66 Florida House of Representative Larry Ahern, Ferman Automotive, and bronze sponsors the Bluett Family, JLG and Associates, Angry Pepper, CM Management LLC OHanlan Family, the Hano Family and FedEx. They were able to raise money that will benefit high school students and athletes with their college and career plans; along with giving local children the opportunity to follow their dreams to play football, baseball, basketball and soccer. Proceeds from the tournament will go to benefit The Keith MacCollom Hoops and Heritage Memorial Scholarship fund; the Joey Ruzecki Memorial Scholarship Fund; The Nate Richardson Memorial Baseball Scholarship Fund; the YMCA of Largo and Play for Us Memorial Foundation. On May 13th, the families presented awards to the winners of the scholarships. Winners for the Keith MacCollom Hoops and Heritage Memorial Scholarship award were Max Mason, Sara Lynn Stiehler, Connor Frain and Tanner Cowan. Winners for the Nate Richardson Baseball scholarship award were Nicolette Meyers on the softball team and Doug Borgh, Kyle Frickman and Cody Miller on the baseball team. Winners for the Joey Ruzecki Memorial Scholarship were Connor Frain, Max Mason, Brianna Morgan, Liam Murphy, Haley Weaver and Madeline Zanga.

The Richardson family Seminole The watchdogs that surround usEvery month my electric company sends me a letter telling me how I compare with my neighbors as far as power usage goes. The company has three ratings (and the phrasing I use here is mine, not theirs). (1) You are a good boy, Bobby. You dont use more electricity than is really necessary. Keep up the fine work. (2) You are in the middle ground, sir. You are not a power hog, but you could cut back on the kilowatts per month if you really tried. (3) You should be ashamed of yourself. If everyone consumed as much power as you, the system would collapse and wed all be plunged into darkness and despair. I appreciate being told where I fit in, re electricity consumption. All my life Ive been ruled by the nagging question, How am I doing? Not just on electricity use, but on almost every aspect of my behavior. I assume that other people are troubled in the same way. And now its possible for all of us to be graded and rated on dozens of living standards, not just on electric power consumption. Thats because we are now under continuous visual observation, tape recording, record keeping and other forms of monitoring. Today we have not just one Big Brother, but also hundreds of them. They can watch and catalog almost everything we do. For example, when you rolled out of bed this morning at 7:18, that fact was probably noted by a tiny gadget installed beneath your mattress (without your knowledge) by the National Institute of Bedroom Behavior. This shadowy group is able to tabulate everything you do in bed or in your bedroom. One day you may receive a monthly notice like this: Miss Clark, you go to bed most nights 17 minutes earlier that other females of your age group. You snore 8.5 minutes per night, and visit the bathroom 1.8 times. Your average wake-up time is 6:45 a.m. By now were all aware that our smartphones and iPads reveal most of what we say, do or think during the day. Added to that are our postings on Facebook, Twitter and the latest social network, Numbskull Natterings. But were you aware that your TV set can spy on you? The FCC, the NSA and the TV industry now have the ability to send the following notice to any of us: Mr. Cox, were troubled by your refusal to watch Fox News for more than six minutes a day, compared with your fascination with PBS and other left-leaning productions. We also note that you often switch on Al Jazeera Americas news reports. Dont you know that people in the Mideast operate Al Jazeera? Be careful, sir. American Grocery Snoops (AGS) is able to tell you this: Your April 2014 purchase of pork butts, chocolate syrup and Pringles exceeded the quantities recommended by AGS health experts. We suggest you balance this by buying more kale and sugar-free sauerkraut. The late-model cars we drive may soon be able to send us to jail. A traffic cop will pull us over and attach electronic cables to various parts of our car. A few minutes later he/she will hand us a printed report and say, Youre under arrest. Your cars monitors show that in the past week you exceeded the posted speed limits of Largo, Tarpon Springs and Lealman. Also, on March 3 while crossing the Howard Frankland Bridge, you were drinking from an open container of an alcoholic beverage. It was beer. Bud Light. Please exit your car. You have the right to remain silent..... The Posture Police (PP, or PeePees) also will be sending us notices. Mr. Arbuckle, our omnipresent cameras indicate that during the first eight months of this year you have developed a noticeable slump (8 percent) in your carriage, while walking. Your chin has lowered, and you have failed to pull your shoulders back as far as you did when you served in the U.S. Marine Corps (1970-74). We hope that you will address this problem immediately, if not sooner. If you think Im exaggerating, think again. Modern technology is gradually wiping out every vestige of personal privacy. The culprits are not just the right-wingers or the liberals. Its a host of snoopers and bright boys, many of whose only rationale is simply, We know how to spy, so lets do it! But you and I (the laboratory rats) will one day prevail. Well learn how to invade the snooper programs and scramble the data so thoroughly it will explode into chaos, allowing us to resume our unexamined, uncharted and joyfully unplanned lives. The hope still lives, and the dream shall never die. Avanti! Excelsior!Bob Driver is a former columnist for the Clearwater Sun. His email address is tralee71@com cast.net.Police, press dont always get alongJournalism was different decades ago when I covered crime beats in New York and New Jersey. Reporters and cops always maintained a guarded rapport. Officers often barred journalists from entering their secret world, but if you were among the privileged few to be accepted into their ranks as one to be trusted than you received tips about arrests or ongoing investigations. Back in the 1960s when I launched my career in the news business police precincts had rooms set aside for the press. We were allowed to read crime reports from which stories were gleaned. We were invited to go along on drug raids, to sit in on interrogations, and even interview suspects in jails and precinct holding cells. Often reporters rode to crime scenes in patrol cars. In exchange the police expected a fair shake. Journalists who went out of their way to assail law enforcement received very little sanctioned cooperation. One colleague who decided to expose all the real or imagined gossip about police and politics lasted two months before being reassigned to the lawn and garden beat. Through cop friends I connected with entertainment and political figures. I was introduced to unsavory characters, murderers and gangsters. Once I shared dinner with a New Jersey police captain and his friend who just happened to be a shylock enforcer who broke legs and arms for a living. When the bill arrived I found myself short a few dollars. The bone crusher offered to make up the difference. I refused in fear of having an ear severed or my knees smashed for the five bucks I was short. (I used a credit card to cover the tab.) Todays relationships between cops and the media is more guarded than ever before. Once a deputy sheriff went ballistic because I leaned over a yellow crime scene tape to take a picture. Get away from there, he yelled. Another time a female officer insisted that I leave the location of an incident where a police K-9 dog made a happy meal out of his handlers groin. Florida reporters are not allowed the freedom of their peers in northern metropolitan areas. Official press credentials are virtually unknown in the Sunshine State, whereas press cards and auto visors are issued by law enforcement agencies in New York City and New Jersey. Some states even issue distinctive license plates to working members of the media. Walking into a police station to peruse police reports is now taboo. To speak with a cop within the confines of a stationhouse requires an escort to the appropriate office and another escort to leave the building. A small number of officers really do take themselves way too serious. Some possess a them against us attitude, believing that they really are new centurions and we civilians are mere mortals. Once while being ushered down the hall of a local stationhouse I asked my policewoman-escort what would happen if I suddenly ran down the hall and into an office. She didnt think that was very funny. None of this is to say that cops are not sympathetic about the job of the press. The Pinellas County Sheriffs Office boasts the finest press relations division of all local agencies. A few police departments are not as friendly, for whatever their reasons. A spokesman with an attitude once boorishly accused me of peeking through a window where a murder had taken place.Police routinely decline to comment on breaking stories. They often withhold information and even the names of suspects and victims. And they become irritated when reporters circumvent their bureaucracy to independently contact neighbors and others to gather information for stories. I think cops are inhibited because of the bad press they occasionally receive. Then there are court decisions that have forced changes in law enforcement procedures. Now most media requests go through a public information officer or division. That is partially because some investigations, such as bank robberies, are investigated by multiple agencies. Information is withheld during ongoing inquiries in cases of sex crimes or juvenile incidents, and even to protect the rights of certain persons of interests, as suspects now are labeled. You cant blame the police for protecting themselves from possible retribution during trials, or civil suits launched by lawyers whose imprudent billboard and television advertisements have become so common. The police and press mostly do work in sync, and continue to shuck baggage from an era when some journalists saw cops as brutal, evasive and cynical. Too, reporters often are viewed as self-appointed experts who know little about police procedures and the inherent dangers. Misbehavior on both sides is not uncommon. As Police Chief magazine in its May 2014 story on police/press relations said, Working with the media is not complicated. Collaborating positively is a lot more rewarding than fighting with each other. Police leaders and reporters have a lot to offer each other. Each can help the other succeed. Together, they can really achieve that rarest of scenarios: a win-win situation. But best of all, the taxpayers benefit, from learning about the threats to public safety and what their law enforcement officers are doing about those threats. The ensuing free flow of information benefits all involved.Thomas Michalski is a retired Tampa Bay Newspapers editor. He can be reached at thomasamski@yahoo.com.

PETERSBURG The Tampa Bay Rowdies have announced a partnership with the Chargers Soccer Club, which makes the Rowdies the official professional soccer partner of the Chargers U.S. Development Academy. Based in the Tampa Bay area with chapters in Clearwater, Tampa and Lakewood Ranch, CSC is a member of the United States Soccer Development Academy, which provides the optimum developmental environment for the nations top youth soccer players. With a direct connection to U.S. National Team programming, the academy emphasizes long-term development through quality training and limited, meaningful competition. The Rowdies will have an advisory role in the development and execution of the technical aspects of the Academy (coaching selection, technical staff selection, player selection). The Chargers Soccer Club is very excited to be partnering with a professional organization with an incredible reputation such as the Rowdies, Chargers director of coaching Peter Mannino said. The vertical integration of youth soccer through the professional level is something that we have been striving to achieve. The real winners from this partnership are the players and fans. At the end of this process, the benefits to both organizations involved will be outstanding. Chargers Academy teams play at the U-14, U-16 and U-18 levels. Current Rowdies Brian Shriver and Kyle Clinton both played youth soccer for the Chargers. Shriver is the reigning NASL Golden Boot Winner, awarded to the leagues top goal scorer. This partnership also allows the Rowdies to identify, develop and mentor top local, homegrown players through the Rowdies-Chargers Development Academy. This will ultimately elevate our game performance for many years, much like the top tier soccer clubs in the United States and around the world, Van Der Beck said. Once again, the Rowdies ownership has proven a deep commitment to the sport of soccer at all levels. This is a winning partnership for the entire Bay area.Rays Watch parties set at Guy Harvey OutpostST.

PETERSBURG Evan Longoria and the Rays Baseball Foundation have teamed up with the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation for this years Reading with the Rays Read Your Way to the Ballpark program. This summer, the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation, Longoria and the Rays Baseball Foundation will host the seventh season of Reading with the Rays, an incentive-based reading program that encourages kids to avoid summer learning loss by reading 24 hours during the summer months. Participating libraries track kids progress and award prizes for reaching certain goals, including a free ticket to a Rays game. Reading with the Rays is made possible with the help of the Tampa Bay Times Newspaper in Education and public library systems in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Citrus, Polk, Pasco, Hernando, Sarasota and Charlotte counties. Reading with the Rays has grown to become a pillar of our community outreach efforts, Rays Senior Vice President Mark Fernandez said. We are proud to be joined by our partners at Suncoast Credit Union in delivering this program to more children than ever and significantly impacting reading development over the summer months throughout our region. Kids can pick up their Reading with the Rays game card at a participating library to begin reading around the bases anytime on or after June 8. Reading with the Rays compliments our mission of supporting educational initiatives for children in the local community, said Mary Tlachac, executive director of Suncoast Credit Union Foundation. Reading is a wise investment of time and because there are many benefits to establishing reading habits at an early age, we believe this program will encourage and excite children to read beyond the school year. Longoria, the programs spokesman, will make surprise visits to local libraries in the weeks following the kick-off. For more information about the program, visit raysbaseball.com/reading.

Cleared Police beatTransient arrested in Dunedin murderDUNEDIN Pinellas County Sheriffs detectives arrested a 26-year-old transient Saturday morning in connection with a murder of a Dunedin man. Arthur Michael DeCarvalho, formerly of Crescent Springs Kentucky, was charged with murder in the first degree. He is being held without bond in the Pinellas County Jail. Detectives assigned to the Robbery/Homicide Unit went to the home of David G. Elsey, 50, on Summit Way in Dunedin about 5 a.m. Saturday to conduct a welfare check after receiving a call from Clearwater police. According to the sheriffs report, Clearwater police officers received information from DeCarvalho during a routine traffic stop in the Clearwater Beach area. When deputies arrived at Elseys home, they found that he was dead. He had blunt upper body trauma. Detectives have reason to believe that Elsey recently met DeCarvalho online. The investigation continues.Man charged with abusing young girlsPINELLAS PARK Pinellas Park police charged a 71-year-old man with three counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of two young girls. Police report that a complaint came in June 5 that Alan Timothy McGann of Pinellas Park has molested a 5-year-old child who had visited his home. Police interviewed McGann at his residence and he denied the allegations. At 10:19 a.m. June 6, McGann walked into the police station and told our call taker that he wanted to surrender himself on charges of child molestation, the report said. Pinellas Park police officers talked to McGann who reportedly admitted to touching the victim June 5 under her clothing and rubbing her on two separate occasions. According to the police report, he also admitted that he had touched another little girl, who was known to him, four or five years ago when she was age 5, and again about a year or two ago when she was between 8 and 9 years of age. McGann was booked into the Pinellas County Jail. No bond was set. Pinellas Park police said he could receive a sentence of life in prison for each offense.Man arrested at marijuana grow houseCLEARWATER Detectives with Pinellas County Sheriffs Narcotics Division arrested a Clearwater man Tuesday evening in connection with a marijuana grow house at his residence on Keene Road in unincorporated Clearwater.

Lopez, 41, June 3, and Lopez gave consent to search his residence. Upon entry, detectives discovered evidence of a grow house operation. During a search, 133 marijuana plants were seized and removed from the home. Lopez was arrested and charged with manufacture of marijuana and trafficking in marijuana. Lopez was transported to the Pinellas County Jail. Bond was set at $55,000.Deputy injured in multi-vehicle crashMADIERA BEACH A Pinellas County Sheriffs deputy and two others were injured in a multi-vehicle crash about 2:13 p.m. Tuesday, June 3, in the area of 135th Avenue and Gulf Boulevard in Madeira Beach. According to investigators with the sheriffs Major Accident Investigation Team, the driver of a 2013 Toyota RAV 4 was stopped at 135th Avenue preparing to make a left hand turn to travel northbound on Gulf Boulevard. Deputy Alida Perez was traveling southbound in the curb lane on Gulf Boulevard in a marked cruiser and the driver of a 2010 Jeep Cherokee was also traveling southbound on Gulf Boulevard in the median lane. The driver of the Toyota RAV 4 began to accelerate to make the left turn and struck the front of the deputys cruiser. The impact from the crash pushed the cruiser into the side of the Jeep Cherokee. The driver and the passenger of the Toyota, identified as Donald Funk, 58, and Linda Funk, 67, of Dunnellon were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Perez, who was on duty at the time of the crash, transported herself to the hospital as a precaution and for treatment of minor injuries. The driver of the Jeep Cherokee, identified as Jack Buns, 65, of Largo was not injured during the crash. It does not appear that alcohol or drugs were related to the incident.Man arrested for exposing himselfCLEARWATER Pinellas County Sheriffs detectives arrested a male transient June 2 after he reportedly exposed himself to a 17year-old female, who was walking to school about 8 a.m. on South Arcturas Avenue north of Gulf-to-Bay. Jason Newsome, 34, was charged with one count of exposure of sexual organs and violation of probation for lewd and lascivious behavior. Detectives believe that Newsome approached females who were walking to ask for directions. They believe there may be other victims in the area.

Anyone with information on this investigation or other potential victims are asked to contact the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office at 727582-6200.Five teens arrested for senior prankST. PETERSBURG Pinellas County Sheriffs deputies arrested five teenagers for burglary after they tagged more than 200 exterior windows, doors, benches, columns and vending machines at a high school in St. Petersburg as part of a senior prank. The incident happened about 3:20 a.m. June 3 at Dixie Hollins High School, 4940 62nd St. N. All the students are from St. Petersburg. According to a sheriffs report, deputies responded to Dixie Hollins High School after a citizen observed a group of juveniles jumping a fence to gain access to the school. Deputies established a perimeter around the school assisted by the Sheriffs Flight and K-9 units. Deputies first located Jaime Shaughessy, 17, and Shalleya Codrington, 18, in a breezeway of the school. Deputies said the two were in the process of vandalizing several doors and windows with multicolor markers. Three others, Tyler J. Greenberg, 18; Stephanie Sousek, 18; and Andre Szymanski, 17; were arrested at a private residence at 31st Terrace North in St. Petersburg, when deputies responded to that location to contact Codringtons parents. Deputies said the teens used markings such as 2014 and Seniors Rules, as well as vulgar markings on the school property. They also caused damage to the building where markings could not be removed. Deputies interviewed the teens, some scheduled to graduate June 3, who reportedly said they wanted to go out with a bang. All five were arrested for burglary. Codrington, Greenberg and Sousek were transported to the Pinellas County Jail. Shaughessy and Szymanski were transported to the Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center.Man charged after stabbing grandmotherST. PETERSBURG A 70-year-old woman is in stable condition at a local hospital after being stabbed multiple times by her grandson just after midnight Monday, June 2.

TORRESLARGO Two employees from Largos solid waste division tackled and held down a man who reportedly was breaking into a house where a 14-year-old girl was home by herself June 5. Largo police got the call about the burglary on Lexington Court at 2:10 p.m. that day. A man had knocked at the door, but the teenager didnt know him and so didnt answer it. She then noticed the same man trying to break into the rear door of the home, which is inside a fenced yard. The teenager called her mother. While talking to her, the man removed a screen from the window. The mother told her daughter to get out of the house. The 14-year-old ran out the garage door and saw a solid waste truck manned by several employees. She told Michael Kowalke and Michael Gordon that a man was breaking into her house. The burglary suspect meanwhile climbed back over the fence and fled north. Kowalke tackled the suspect in the front yard of a neighbors house while Gordon pinned him down. The suspect later identified as Matthew Jordan Olver, 20, of Pinellas Park struggled against the men and at one point tried to stab them with a large knife, police reported. The employees managed to take the knife from Olver. Another employee, Michael Fitzgerald, picked it up until police officers arrived and took Olver into custody. Police Chief Jeff Undestad called the solid waste employees heroes in a city email explaining their feat. If not for their help, this burglar would have gotten away, he wrote. Olver was charged with armed burglary and two counts of aggravated assault, all felonies. Police pointed out that the teenager never answered the door, and nothing indicated that Olver knew the house was occupied. Olver has a previous history of battery and burglary, police reported. According to Pinellas County Jail records, he was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon causing great bodily harm in October 2012.June is Move Over Slow Down Save a Life monthTALLAHASSEE Move Over. Two simple words can mean the difference between life and death to the first responders who work alongside Floridas busy highways. In an effort to bring new awareness to Floridas Move Over law, the Florida Highway Patrol and law enforcement agencies across the state have declared June as Move Over Slow Down Save a Life month. During the month-long safety campaign, law enforcement officers will work together to better educate the public about the law and the threat that ignoring it can pose to first responders. Our troopers are out there every day working traffic stops and crash scenes along busy highways with cars speeding past them, often just feet away, said Col. David Brierton, FHP director. And every day they face the real possibility of never going home to their families because someone fails to obey the Move Over law. Floridas Move Over law protects law enforcement officers, emergency workers and tow truck drivers stopped along roadways while performing their jobs; It requires motorists to move over when a patrol car, emergency vehicle or tow truck/wrecker is stopped on the side of a road with lights flashing. If such movement cannot be safely accomplished, motorists shall slow down to a speed of 20 mph below the posted speed limit. Motorist should approach emergency vehicles with caution. Violating the Move Over law puts motorists and public safety professionals at risk. The phrase Move Over is more than just words. It is an action required on everyones part to make Floridas busy roads safer for everyone whether they are first responders or stranded motorists waiting for assistance. If you see anyone on the side of the road, Move Over for their safety. A life depends on it. Read more on Floridas Move Over law at www.flhsmv.gov/SafetyTips /MoveOverTips.htm.

Compiled by LEE CLARK ZUMPEA number of new movies will hit theaters this week, including the following films opening in wide release:How to Train Your Dragon 2Genre: Action, adventure, animation and family Cast: Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Kit Harington, Cate Blanchett, Djimon Honsou, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller and Kristen Wiig Director: Dean DeBlois Rated: PG From DreamWorks Animation comes the highly anticipated sequel to the Academy Award-nominated How to Train Your Dragon, based on the childrens book series by Cressida Cowell. In the thrilling second chapter of the epic trilogy, five years have passed since the heroic young Viking Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) befriended an injured dragon and forever changed the way the residents of Berk interact with the fire-breathers. Now, Vikings and dragons live side-by-side in peace on the fantastical isle that has been transformed into a dragons paradise. But when grown-up responsibilities loom on the horizon, Hiccup and his faithful dragon Toothless take to the skies in search of answers. Its much more than he bargained for, though, when Hiccup discovers that a mysterious dragon rider is really his long-lost mother Valka (Cate Blanchett) and that the peace between dragons and Vikings is threatened by the power-hungry Drago (Djimon Hounsou) with help from the dragon trapper Eret, son of Eret (Kit Harington). As Astrid (America Ferrera), Gobber (Craig Ferguson) and Viking friends Snotlout (Jonah Hill), Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and twins Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) and Tuffnut (T.J. Miller), lend their support, Hiccup, his mother and tribal chief father Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), must work together to protect the dragons they have grown to love. In the process, Hiccup finds the answers he has been looking for in ways he could never have imagined.

Keeping it cleanH2O Comedy Tour brings family-friendly humor to Pinellas Park By TIFFANY RAZZANOPINELLAS PARK H2O Comedy Tour heads to the Performing Arts Center, 4951 78th Ave. N., Saturday, June 14, 7 p.m. But dont expect the typical comedy show. You wont hear any vulgarity or foul language. In fact, the comics, who also openly embrace their Christian faith, are known for keeping it clean. Its totally clean, said Pinellas Park-based comedian Juanita Lolita yes, thats her real name the troupes founder. But we dont want people to think we do Christian comedy. We just happen to be clean and Christian. Our humor isnt bible-based. She added, We do have joy in Christianity but our shows dont cram it down your throat. The four comedians who make up H2O Lolita and Bill Ohse, also from Pinellas Park, Lakelands Johnny Roberts and New Port Richeys Rahn Hortman each perform regularly on their own, bringing their squeaky clean acts to comedy clubs throughout the state. Being clean in a comedy club is already something completely different, Lolita said. When we perform, you dont even realize were clean because youre so busy laughing. They primarily cull their material from relatable experiences of day-today living. And audiences must be enjoying what they hear. Last year, Lolita was named Tampas Funniest Female in Floridas Funniest Comedian competition. Hartman was named Tampas Funniest Comedian overall in the same contest. Lolita founded H2O Humor to Outreach in January 2013. Eventually, her husband Rick Williams, a music and sound engineer, built the group an eye-catching stage display. He took us from being four comedians with a microphone to being a full-scale production, she said. Often, they bring their quick-paced act to churches whose patrons are more used to humorists telling longer stories rather than jokes with punchlines. When we get into a church setting, theyre blown away, Lolita said. Theyre not used to anything like it. They also perform for more mainstream audiences, like at the upcoming PAC show. But their shows still benefit the community. Tickets to the June 14 show cost $12, and part of the proceeds will benefit a variety of organizations, including the Pinellas Park Thunderbirds and Childrens Miracle Network. For more information, visit www.h2ohumor.com. H2O Comedy Tour is a clean, Christian-based comedy production heading to the Pinellas Park Performing Arts Center June 14. But dont worry, said Juanita Lolita, the troupes founder, they dont cram it down your throat. Liebert returns to Capitol TheatreCLEARWATER According to Ottmar Liebert, flamenco is a music both romantic and dangerous; it is an attitude as much as it is a musical genre. Liebert and his band Luna Negra will perform Saturday, June 14, 8 p.m., at Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater. Tickets start at $35. Call 791-7400 or visit www.atthecap.com. Lieberts philosophy regarding his music catapulted him to fame at the end of the s with an engaging mix of subdued flamenco guitar and South American percussion, rock, jazz, and pop influences. His attitude actually suppresses the more challenging and dangerous aspects of flamenco in favor of the romantic and the stylish. Hes not a technical wizard on the guitar, but he has a feel for the musics innate sensuality and a gift for creating memorable melodies. Liebert was born in Cologne, Germany, to a Chinese-German father and Hungarian mother. He was 11 years old when he began playing guitar. During his youth, he had the opportunity to travel extensively to European and Asian destinations. At each vista, Liebert absorbed each musical tradition he encountered. Liebert initially pursued a different dream: He tried to get a foothold in the rock and roll industry, both in Germany and later in Boston. He eventually abandoned his aspirations, leaving the East Coast and settling in Santa Fe, N.M. According to Segue Entertainment, it was only after years of trying to hit the big time in various jazz-funk bands that Liebert began playing acoustic guitar in Santa Fe restaurants. His first self-produced cassette, Nouveau Flamenco, was basically recorded for friends, but the album received heavy radio airplay in Los Angeles. In 1990, Higher Octave Records re-released it nationally, expanding the artists audience. His subsequent album, Borrasca, quickly climbed the charts and Liebert was picked up by a major label, Epic. Since then, Liebert has brought flamenco to mainstream America with a level of class and accessibility. His prowess as a composer and instrumentalist has steadily improved over the years. According to the biography on the artists website, by 1989, Liebert had founded the first incarnation of his band Luna Negra. Those transitional years proved to be quite a culture shock. I was honestly happy playing this music in hotels and restaurants in Santa Fe, and going in one year from doing that to opening for Miles Davis was a pretty intense jump, he said in the biography. Most shocking for me was to realize how many different people from so many diverse cultures embraced it. Liebert is now recognized as one of the most successful instrumental artists of the past quarter century, performing before loyal fans on the road and releasing a series of classic recordings. His discography includes the remix collection Euphoria (1995), the live album Viva! (1995), the double CD Opium (1996), Leaning into the Night (1997), Little Wing (2001), Arms of Love (2002), The Santa Fe Sessions (2003), La Semana (2004), Winter Rose (2005), Well into his career after 22 releases the award-winning guitarist released a daring and unadorned recording in 2006, One Guitar, on his own record label SSRI. One Guitar, Lieberts first solo guitar recording, is flled with gorgeous soulful performances and a palette full of intimate moods and lush landscapes. The album earned Liebert his fourth nomination for a Grammy. Since then, Liebert has continued to record and release new material, including Up Close (2008), The Scent of Light (2008), Petals on the Path (2010), Santa Fe (2011) and Dune (2012). Lieberts newest studio recording, three-oh-five, was released this year. In its review, the website Cultural Court described the album as music that is relaxed, but has that sort of down low playing that hipsters everywhere commit crimes to achieve and said it features Moorish, Andalusian, American Bluesy strains which are wedded with a sort of African Genesis boogie. Liebert also released Bare Wood this year. Bare Wood is a compilation of pieces I created between 2002 and 2012, Liebert said on his website. For this album I deleted all electric or electronic instruments from the original recordings and removed anything that was not Flamenco guitar or Cajun. I recorded additional Flamenco guitar parts and Jon recorded entirely new upright acoustic bass tracks for every piece. What emerged was the essence, the soul, the bare wood of the music.

The 30th anniversary of the tour that celebrates the biggest hits of the s and s kicked off June 7 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. The tour hits the Tampa Bay area on June 13 with a show at Ruth Eckerd Hall, 1111 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater. Tickets start at $40. Call 791-7400 or visit www.rutheckerdhall.com.

The performers will play numerous hits including Were An American Band, Some Kind of Wonderful, Devil With A Blue Dress, Good Golly Miss Molly, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Joy To The World, This Diamond Ring and Happy Together. During the show, the multimedia highlights during each of the performances will reference the time period of the music. Listeners can truly feel and see the soundtrack of their youth during a Happy Together show as they are transported back in time. The Happy Together tour began in 1984 with mainstays The Turtles. It started up again in 2010 and this is its fifth consecutive year. The overwhelming response and love for the music has endured, and now The Happy Together Tour enters its 30th year anniversary.The Turtles Happy Together by The Turtles hit No. 1 on the charts in 1967 displacing the Beatles Penny Lane and remains a staple on classic rock radio to this day. Although their biggest hit and signature song, its just one of their nine Top 40 hits, which include such popular songs as Shed Rather Be With Me, Elenore, You Showed Me and It Aint Me Babe. In 1968, far ahead of their time, they would release one of musics first concept albums, The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands, where they pretended to be 11 different bands with different names, each providing a song in a different genre. The album showcased their incredible range of vocal talent and spawned the hits Elenore and You Showed Me, both peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard charts. Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan have remained plenty busy over the years with both The Turtles featuring Flo & Eddie and their extracurricular music activities. The band has sold over 60 million albums worldwide and continues to please audiences with their fun-filled performances. This Happy Together Tour 2014 sizes up to be the strongest and most rocking summer weve had so far, said Mark Volman in a press release promoting the tour. The artists who are with us make us excited to get started and the audience is in for a great night of music and memories.Chuck Negron Chuck Negron co-founded the hugely popular, multi-platinum band, Three Dog Night in 1967. The group went on to become one of the most successful bands of the late s and early s with 21 Top 40 hits and three No. 1 songs including Joy to the World, Black and White and Mama Told Me (Not to Come). The bands first gold record was One, which featured Negron on lead vocals as did Joy to the World and many other of the bands biggest hits including Old Fashioned Love Song. Negron has kept the music that he helped make famous alive by continuing to perform throughout the decades. Dont miss this show, Negron said. Its magical!Mark Farner Mark Farner is best known as the enigmatic frontman for Grand Funk Railroad. His singing, writing and performing are the stuff of legend. At 21 he performed at Shea Stadium and at 65 the man simply wont be denied as his latest single Take You Out. Farners hitmaking is well documented with The Locomotion, Bad Time to Be in Love, Im Your Captain/Closer to Home, and Some Kind of Wonderful. Summing it up... I am proud to be suckin air and still able to do what I love doing, said Farner. See HAPPY TOGETHER, page 8B

It may be several weeks before these films appear in local movie theaters.A Coffee in BerlinGenre: Drama Cast: Tom Schilling Director: Jan Ole Gerster Not rated Jan Ole Gersters wry and vibrant feature debut A Coffee in Berlin, which swept the 2013 German Oscar Awards, paints a day in the life of Niko, a 20-something college dropout going nowhere fast. Niko lives for the moment as he drifts through the streets of Berlin, curiously observing everyone around him and oblivious to his growing status as an outsider. Then on one fateful day, through a series of absurdly amusing encounters, everything changes: his girlfriend rebuffs him, his father cuts off his allowance, and a strange psychiatrist dubiously confirms his emotional imbalance. Meanwhile, a former classmate insists she bears no hard feelings toward him for his grade-school taunts when she was Roly Poly Julia, but it becomes increasingly apparent that she has unfinished business with him. Unable to ignore the consequences of his passivity any longer, Niko finally concludes that he has to engage with life. All Cheerleaders DieGenre: Image Entertainment Cast: Caitlin Stasey, Sianoa Smit-McPhee, Brooke Butler, Amanda Grace Cooper, Reanin Johannink and Tom Williamson Director: Lucky McKee and Chris Silverton Not rated Teenage outsider Maddy is keeping some dark secrets and holding a serious grudge against the captain of the Blackfoot High football team. When Maddy joins the schools elite and powerful cheerleading squad, she convinces her new friends to help inflict her revenge. After a late-night party goes awry, their plans take an unexpected turn for the worst and all of the girls die. A sinister, supernatural power intervenes and the girls mysteriously appear at school the next day with a killer new look and some unusual new appetites.HellionGenre: Drama Cast: Aaron Paul, Juliette Lewis, Josh Wiggins, Deke Garner, Jonny Mars and Walt Roberts Director: Kat Candler Not rated Writer/director Kat Candlers Hellion paints the powerful portrait of a family on the brink of dissolution set against the haunting backdrop of the refineries of Southeast Texas. Obsessed with heavy metal, dirt bike racing and partaking in the occasional act of vandalism with his band of delinquents, the behavior of 13year-old Jacob Wilson (Josh Wiggins) has begun to raise concerns around town, especially when it starts to involve his younger brother Wes (Deke Garner). While the boys father Hollis (Aaron Paul) loves his sons, he is still reeling from the loss of their mother, spending more time drowning his sorrows at the local bar and working on his damaged beach house than being an active parent. When the local authorities catch wind of the increasingly volatile situation, Wes is taken into custody by his Aunt Pam (Juliette Lewis), leaving Jacob and Hollis to fend for themselves. In Wes absence, Jacob becomes increasingly obsessed with two things: winning a local motocross championship and getting his brother back.I Am IGenre: Drama Cast: Jocelyn Towne, Kevin Tighe, Jason Ritter, James Morrison and Simon Helberg Director: Jocelyn Towne Not rated I Am I is the story of a young woman, Rachael (Jocelyn Towne), who meets her estranged father Gene (Kevin Tighe) at her mothers funeral. Eager to get to know her father, Rachael later tracks him down at an assisted living home only to realize that Gene suffers from memory loss and thinks he is still a young man. He has no recollection of having a daughter and instead is convinced that Rachael is actually her mother. After trying and failing to make him remember her, Rachael eventually decides to go along with her fathers delusions by pretending to be her mother in order to get to know him. Before long, Rachael is visiting Gene every day, finding new ways to bring elements from his past into their present relationship. What began as a search for understanding has become romantic and joyful, but it cant go on forever.Ivory TowerGenre: Documentary Director: Andrew Rossi Rated: PG-13 As tuition rates spiral beyond reach and student loan debt passes $1 trillion (more than credit card debt), Ivory Tower asks: Is college worth the cost? From the halls of Harvard, to public colleges in financial crisis, to Silicon Valley, filmmaker Andrew Rossi assembles an urgent portrait of a great American institution at the breaking point. Through profiles at Arizona State, Cooper Union, and Sebastian Thruns Udacity among several others Ivory Tower reveals how colleges in the United States, long regarded as leaders in higher education, came to embrace a business model that often promotes expansion over quality learning. But along the way we also find unique programs, from Stanford to the free desert school Deep Springs to the historically black all womens college Spelman, where the potential for life-changing college experiences endure. Witching & BitchingGenre: Comedy, crime, horror and thriller Cast: Hugo Silva, Mario Casas, Pepn Nieto, Carolina Bang, Terele Pvez and Jaime Ordez Director: lex de la Iglesia Not rated When a bank heist in the city doesnt all go according to plan, Jos and Tony find themselves in possession of some hostages and speeding through the mountains of Spain, hoping to quietly slip over the border. Not wanting to give up his custody days to his ex-wife, Jos has also brought his son along, for both the robbery and the ride. Little do they know that this is only the beginning of their troubles. When they decide to make a stop in a small tavern in the Basque countryside, the group encounters a series of local wackos. Falling victim to a mysterious spell, they soon find themselves the honored guests of a fractured family of witches who are preparing for an ancient ritual. More colorful characters begin to enter the picture, including a pair of hapless cops hot on the trail, a defecting vixen witch and Joss controlling ex-wife, and the situation spirals further out of control, heading towards a jaw-dropping climax. OPENING, from page 1B A&E newsOpen mic focuses on storytelling Wordier Than Thou, a local literary arts organization, has two upcoming storytelling and prose open mics. The group will meet Thursday, June 12, at the Showcase Arts Foundation, 1714 County Road 1, Suite 2, Dunedin. The featured reader will be author Lisa Rose.

It was the summer of 1964 when producer Snuff Garrett discovered Gary Lewis & The Playboys. By the following year, they had a song go straight to the top of the charts called, This Diamond Ring. After the second hit titled, Count Me In, went to No. 2, Gary and the band proved they would be a continued success. They followed with more Top 10 songs such as Save Your Heart for Me, Everybody Loves A Clown, Shes Just My Style, Sure Gonna Miss Her and many more. In 1965, Lewis was Cash Box magazines Male Vocalist of the Year, winning the honor over other nominees Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. He was the first and only artist during the 1960s to have his first seven releases reach Billboard magazines Top 10 on the Hot 100 chart. Still going strong, Gary released a new single last year titled, You Cant Go Back. Im excited and looking forward to bringing you more fun memories in this years Happy Together Tour, said Lewis.Mitch Ryder & The Detroit WheelsHigh octane, turbo, high performance, explosive, super-charged Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels do not need to hail from the Motor City for those adjectives to be tossed their way, but it certainly was appropriate that they call Motown home. It was Ryder and his band who served as the musical bridge between the Motown soul factory and the high-energy, take no prisoners rock n roll that would roar out of Detroit via Iggy & The Stooges, MC5, Ted Nugent and Bob Seger. Ryders hit Jenny Take a Ride features the explosive musical quality that has been there from the very start, with the way the introductory chords are chomping at the bit to swoop down into the double-time mid-section. Or how the thundering bass drum triggers the ecstatic roll that kicks off Devil With A Blue Dress On, which climbed to No. 4 on the charts. HAPPY TOGETHER, from page 3B
